favorite single season of television
This is a question that I recently was asked by a friend and I had to think about it quite a bit. Breaking Bad definitely had a few amazing seasons but my runner ups were season 2 and 3 of Game of Thrones with the winner being season 2 of The Leftovers.
NOTE: I have yet to watch The Wire. As soon as I finish up Black Sails my plan is to watch The Wire which is highly decorated as having been some of the best television out there.

A good runner up would be 2nd season of Sons of Anarchy or pretty much any season of Breaking bad lol.
Friends season 5
Lost season 3
Mad Men season 3
This is Us season 1
Penny Dreadful season 1
Also, one of my favorite coffee cups that we have is the Van Gogh Exploding Tardis that we ordered from (pretty sure it was) Think Geek. That was a really great season.
True Detective S1
Dexter S4
Wire S3
Homeland S1
Twin Peaks S1
The Americans S4
I cant pick a Breaking Bad season because I binged the whole series in a week to make the finale live.
I would probably lean towards TD S1 as its a good re watch and can be done in a done if you want.
Its a lot of early seasons when the idea is at its best and mid seasons when the writers, show runners etc have figured it all out
Stranger Things, both seasons.
Gilmore Girls, season 2 or 3
The Wire, Season 4
Justified, Season 3 (the weirdest, funniest season)
Hannibal, Season 1
Broad City, Season 1
The Terror might make this list. Will have to give it some time.
Also, Dexter Season 1 popped in my head. The problem is that the show slowly diluted and repeated itself over the following seasons so I actually have negative feelings about what made it unique and fun. But I remember being kind of viscerally thrilled and repulsed by it. I didn’t enjoy the murdering but it broke ground in terms of what kind of character you could root for, and therefore actually had something new to offer. Love the sense of place too. It mostly wasn’t filmed in Miami but it sure felt like it.
Yeah, this seals it. I totally need to re-watch Carnivale.

(I feel like Dexter and That 70s Show might need explanation: I was really into Dexter until the beginning of Season 5, but each of the first four seasons just kept getting better and better culminating in the fourth with the best arc yet. Just watching Hall and Lithgow duke it out was amazing; That 70s Show was the first tv DVD I was given as a Christmas gift and in a time when I had no cable, no internet, and not many other dvds, I watched season 1 over and over. I went back and watched season 1 with my wife recently and we laughed so much but the rest of the show really goes downhill. So I know it’s not a great show but that first season is one of the best seasons of comedy I’ve ever seen.)
